Decorate a project with arrows and rectangles

Grafcet-Studio Version

This feature is possible with version 2.1.0.6 and higher.

With rotatable arrows and rectangles the Grafcet chart can be decorated. Arrows can be used to direct attention to a specific location and rectangles can be used to highlight Grafcet structures.

Example:

Picture numbers:

No	Explanation
1	Insert arrow
2	Insert rectangle
3	The main step chain is highlighted by a colored rectangle
4	Red arrow
5	Comment field (this is not a decoration rectangle!)
6	Green arrow rotates

Notes:

• These decoration objects are always in the background, so they cannot cover any Grafcet objects.
• A decoration rectangle can not contain text. For that, use the comment field.
• A decoration rectangle cannot be rotated.
• If a Grafcet-Studio project with decoration objects is loaded with an older version, the decoration objects are displayed as comment fields.
• The color can be set via the context menu.
• One click on the arrow and it can be rotated and its size can be changed. See next image.
